Brief Answer:
Dose of Nexito can be increased...

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.

I have gone through all the details of your current and previous treatment. Nexito is the brand name of an SSRI anti-depressant / anti-anxiety medication called Escitalopram. Etilaam Pro is a combination medication which consists of Etizolam and Propranolol - which are used to treat anxiety symptoms.

5mg of Nexito is the starting dose and the dose can be increased up to 20 mg as per requirement. So, if you are not having proper relief with the dose of 5 mg of Nexito, then the dose can be increased to 10mg.

Wish you all the best.

Brief Answer:
No need to change the anti-depressant now...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry, the answer to another patient's question had got accidentally posted under your query.

It is unwise to change the antidepressant hastily without reaching an adequate dose and waiting for an adequate time period. So, I would not recommend changing your anti-depressant now. You are in the right track of treatment and if your symptoms are still persisting, then the next step should be to increase the dose of Nexito.

One of the reasons for you wavering in your decision about treatment could be your underlying anxiety. However, it is important ignore such anxious or worrisome thoughts and trust your doctor and be positive in your outlook.

Best wishes,

Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar MBBS., DPM., MRCPsych.(U.K.)
